TO THE LIBRARIAN OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM, INSCRIBED ON TITLE: “R. 
Garnett with all best wishes from the author. Nov. 7, 1899.” Butler 
had dedicated “Unconscious Memory” to Garnett in acknowledgment 
of “unwearying kindness” (he did the greater part of his work in the 
Reading Room of the British Museum), and despite Garnett’s disap- 
proval of his Homeric speculations, he presented this copy of the 
“Sonnets” to the Librarian within a few days of its publication. 
This venture in Shakespearean exegesis resulted in the interesting 
correspondence between Garnett and the intrepid Butler (wide Henry 
F., Jones’ “Memoir”, Vol. II, pp. 307-9).

THE COMPLETE SIGNED MANUSCRIPT OF STEVENSON’S 
ACCOUNT OF HIS FIRST BOOK—“TREASURE ISLAND” 


435 STEVENSON (ROBERT LOUIS). THE COMPLETE AUTO- 
GRAPH MANUSCRIPT, SIGNED, of his account of what he terms 
“My First Book—Treasure Island”. Written on 8pp., folio, 
with many deletions and corrections in the author’s hand, 
accompanied by an envelope from §8. 8. McClure Co., New 
York City, addressed to S. S. McClure, The Shoreham, 
Washington, D. C. From Mr. McClure it passed into the 
possession of a prominent Washington family, for whose 
account it is now being: sold. 


A SUPERLATIVE STEVENSON MANUSCRIPT, AND DELIGHTFULLY ATTRAC- 
TIVE BECAUSE OF THE INTIMATE MANNER IN WHICH HE RELATES HIS 
EARLY DISCOURAGEMENTS, THE CONSIGNMENT TO THE FLAMES OF SEV- 
ERAL PREVIOUS COMPOSITIONS, THE PLAYFUL DRAWING OF THE MAP 
WHICH EVENTUALLY BECAME THE FOUNDATION OF “TREASURE ISLAND”, 
AND ITS FINAL COMPLETION. 


This MS. first appeared in “The Idler” for August, 1894, and “Mc- 
Clure’s Magazine” for September, 1894, followed by its publication 
in book form together with other similar relations by Rudyard Kipling, 
A. Conan Doyle, Jerome K. Jerome, Bret Harte, A. T. Quiller-Couch, 
Robert Buchanan, and many others, later in the same year, under 
the general title “My First Book”. 

Stevenson says in the opening lines of this relation, “Treasure Isl- 
and” was far from being his first book, but being aware that his 
“naymaster, the Great Public, regards what else I have written with 


indifference, if not aversion . . . and when I am called to tell of 
my es book, no question in the world but what is meant is my first 
novel,’ 


HERE, THEN, IS THE HISTORY OF “TREASURE ISLAND”—THE FINEST TALE 
OF MARITIME ADVENTURE THAT HAS BEEN TOLD SINCE DE FOE PRo- 
DUCED HIS GREAT ROMANCE—NARRATED BY STEVENSON HIMSELF.

HOW TO BID BY MAIL 


@[ If you are interested in any particular number in this cata- 
logue, please read the description very carefully and decide the 
maximum amount you would pay for it, and mail your bid for this 
amount to us. We will use your bid in competition with other 
bids received by mail and the bids of those who attend the sale. 


@ The price of a rare book or print or object of art cannot be 
exactly determined in advance. It is a matter of taste, of fashion, 
and of opinion. You may send us a bid for a hundred dollars 
for a number, and we may buy it for you for a few dollars; or 
you may send us a bid for a few dollars, and the number may ~ 
sell for several hundred dollars. However speculatively small 
your bid may be, we are glad to receive it. 


@ Please remember that our descriptions are made in good faith, 
but that after our catalogues are issued we sometimes learn of © 
defects, in which case we do not use your bids without advis- 
ing you; or we learn that we have not fully described a number, 
in which case you profit if you are the successful bidder. 


@_ In spite of all possibilities to the contrary, you will buy as — 
cheaply by mail as if you attended the sale. Some of our 
customers have been sending us bids by mail for over twenty- 
five years. Some of them we have never seen, but we feel that 
we know them as well by correspondence as if we had met them. — 


€ If you would like to know the sale prices of the numbers on 
which you bid, please enclose a stamped, addressed envelope. — 
If you are not known to us, please send a check for twenty-five — 
per cent of your bids, which will be applied against your pur- 
chases and the balance, if any, returned to you.
